Selenium python - How to load Default Chrome Profile

Question

I need to load my own Default chrome profile where all my saved login info is, instead of selenium logging me into my websites.

I have taken this code from stackoverflow, cannot find the exact user. My issue with this code is selenium opens chrome but does not load the correct profile. Every time I open run the code it creates a new "scoped_dir" folder and runs the profile "default" from there chrome version (C:\Users\farja\AppData\Local\Temp\scoped_dir[bunch of numbers]\Default).

I have tried closing chrome and then running my code which doesn't work

I am thinking there is a big flaw in my code but do not know what it is or how to find it. A relevant answer for 2022 would be very very much appreciated as I have literally been stuck on this for a week now and have tried multiple answers on stackoverflow, the web and youtube but nearly all give me a deprecation error.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

ser = Service(r'C:\Users\farja\Documents\Instagram Programmes\Scheduler 2\chromedriver')
op = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
s = webdriver.Chrome(service=ser, options=op)

op.add_argument(r"--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\farja\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data")
op.add_argument("--profile-directory=Default")
s.get("chrome://version/")

As your usecase is to load the Default Chrome Profile you can use the argument user-data-dir and remove the argument --profile-directory as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

op = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
op.add_argument(r"--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\farja\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default")
ser = Service(r'C:\Users\farja\Documents\Instagram Programmes\Scheduler 2\chromedriver')
s = webdriver.Chrome(service=ser, options=op)
s.get("chrome://version/")
